but I do love this book. It's pure escapist space-opera, just like E.E. 'Doc' Smith's Lensman
It may be pure space opera just like E.E. 'Doc' Smith, but at least the Lensmen series was good. Battlefiled Earth was a piece of crap.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I don't recall who recommended The Hobart Shakespeareans but I am blown away. I had to take a break. I've laughed, I've cried, I've sat with my mouth hanging open and I'm less than halfway through the film. I think if you love Hamlet you have to see this.

I just had to pause it again because I hit play, the teacher said, "Oh my God, boys & girls: Michael York!" and I squeed and wine came out my nose.

I watched it a few weeks ago. That teacher is an amazing person, isn't he? More to the point, he thinks his students are amazing too.

I got choked up so many times. I think my favorite part was when the girl was reading for Ophelia and the teacher turned to the camera and mouthed, "holy shit!"

Don't remember if it has been mentioned here, but I saw Ne le dis à personne (Tell No One) yesterday. A very good mystery that cleaned up at the French Césars last year. François Cluzet is the lead, but there are good performances all around, including that of Kristin Scott-Thomas. I highly recommend it if it is playing anywhere near you.

I remember reading some very good reviews somewhere. Maybe the NYT. Sadly, with the foreign film situation the way it is here, I'll probably need to see it on DVD.
